di Arlo Guthrie

dall'album "Running Down The Road" e eseguita al festival di Woodstock.

Arlo Guthrie
Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
No, he couldn't look much stranger
Walking in the hall with his things and all
Smiling, he said he was the Lone Ranger

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

Hip woman walking on a moving floor
Tripping on the escalator
There's a man on the line
And she's blowing his mind
Thinking that he already made her

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we feel much finer?

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

perché questa canzone su Arlo Guthrie che passa la dogana con due chili di marijuana sarebbe contro la guerra? :)

Forse perché la portava al ristorante di Alice...? :-)

Se vogliamo, una canzone antiautoritaria e antiproibizionista, in linea coi suoi tempi (della serie, "ci fumeremo tutta l'erba che ci pare e non ci fermerete") però per niente una CCG/AWS... Famosa perchè inserita in qualche documentario su Woodstock...

Ricordo che qualche tempo fa provai a sdoganare un percorso sull'antiproibizionismo, nel senso della "War on Drugs", ma lo Staff mi rispose che se ciò fosse avvenuto chissà dove saremmo andati a parare... Presi atto, senza banfare, mi pareva giusto...

Ora, questa, almeno negli Extra...
